Each one of us has our own personal goals, but the thing that unites us is the breaking of cultural stereotypes and our need to for support from other APIA men and women.... All are welcome, whether you need to gain or lose, or are recovering from an eating disorder because of family and cultural pressures!

Profile:

We are Asians & APIA PEERtrainers! Join us for support in your journey to lose weight, get fit, and please your neurotic Asian mother. Already a size zero? Well, chances are your crazy mom still thinks your calves are too big. (it could be that she's still bitter that you didn't become a doctor). Vent out your frustrations here. We need more warriors in the Asian Weightloss Brigade. No matter what your size, we believe that healthy habits and exercise will make you feel good and gain confidence to take over the world. At the very least, it should get your mind off your crazy Asian family members...you know, the ones who insist you eat another serving, but won't stop yakking about how you need to diet.

Other Info:

This group is a lot of fun, and it's growing fast. If you are looking for more attention, we recommend you join Asian Outcasts II or III in addition to joining this team. That way, you'll get the support of both the "Asians Breaking Weight Barriers" team (that we hope will take over the world!) and the support of a smaller group to compliment it.
Our picture is of the "Angry Little Asian Girl"... 2 birds up...Gotta love it!

Members profiles:

I am a 34 yo executive. Crazy work schedule and sitting in front of my computer all day and night with foods, coffee and such to keep me awake, frequent 'chocolate breaks' as stress relievers and frequent dining out with friends have taken their toll on my girlish figure. I am determined to get back in the swing of things!!!

I've been overweight all my life... I'm an eater. I'm a professional cook as well, which makes it difficult sometimes to watch everything I eat. And where I work, they use gobs and mounds of Butter and Cream and all other forms of Fat. I'm also painfully clumsy and have never been any good at sports. I recently took up yoga, though, which I've been enjoying a lot.
